Communication Method and Communications Device

A communication method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first device, a first message sent by a second device, wherein the first message indicates a bearer configuration of a bearer of the first device and a status of the bearer configuration when the bearer configuration is received, and the bearer configuration comprises a first bearer configuration or a second bearer configuration, and wherein when the first message comprises first indication information, the first message indicates that the bearer configuration is the first bearer configuration and a value of the first indication information indicates the status of the first bearer configuration;
• and
• determining, by the first device, the bearer configuration and the status of the bearer configuration based on the first message.

A communications device comprising:

• a communications interface, configured to receive a first message sent by a second device, wherein the first message indicates a bearer configuration of a bearer of the communications device and a status of the bearer configuration when the bearer configuration is received, and the bearer configuration comprises a first bearer configuration or a second bearer configuration, wherein when the first message comprises first indication information, the first message indicates that the bearer configuration is the first bearer configuration and a value of the first indication information indicates the status of the first bearer configuration;
• and
• at least one processor, configured to determine the bearer configuration and the status of the bearer configuration based on the first message.

A communication method, comprising:

• receiving, by a first device, a first message sent by a second device, wherein the first message indicates a bearer configuration of a bearer of the first device and a status of the bearer configuration when the bearer configuration is received, and the bearer configuration comprises a first bearer configuration or a second bearer configuration, wherein the bearer of the first device comprises N paths comprising a primary path, the status of the first bearer configuration comprises statuses of N−1 paths in the N paths other than the primary path, a status of each of the N−1 paths comprises an activated state or an deactivated state of a corresponding path, and N is a positive integer greater than 1;
• and
• determining, by the first device, the bearer configuration and the status of the bearer configuration based on the first message.
